Exit Lounge, affiliated with Keep Walking
Lounge, is a fascinating place to enjoy some interesting
cocktails and delicious snacks. You'll be greeted by
friendly staff waiting on a very stylishly decorated
interior from a very discreet entrance in the alley
right next to Dollars Supermarket, on the corner of
MingCheng and MinTzu Roads. (When facing the entrance
of Dollars, look to your right.) Inside, a narrow walkway
runs the length of the lounge from front to back, complete
with televisions embedded in the floor and walls, broadcasting
fashion shows from the likes of Versace, Julien MacDonald,
Gucci and Roberto Cavalli to name just a few.
A full range of snacks and meals are available from
NT$120 - NT$330. They are divided into categories. In
the Wok-Stir Fried category try the Yu-Nan chicken with
chili sauce for NT$120 or the Water Spinach with shrimp
sauce for NT$100. And in the Home-Made Hot Food category,
try the Deep Fried shrimp balls for NT$200. In the Cold
Plate category sample the Iceland deep-water cod liver

As cocktails are their specialty, a variety of unique
cocktail names should grab your curiosity. These too
are divided into categories. A full range of Vodka flavors
(mandrin, raspberry, citron, vanilla and kurant) from
the labels of ABSOLUT make the offerings complete. In
the 'Expert Area' try the Tunnel, the Mine or the Sting
